President Obama still holds a small lead over Mitt Romney, and it's thanks entirely to his popularity with women and minorities, according to a new Quinnipiac poll. The poll has Obama ahead 49% to 45% overall, but his support among women is especially strong at 56% to 38%, and his support among blacks is nearly unanimous at 94% to 2%. Men and whites, by contrast, back Romney 52% to 42% and 53% to 42%, respectively.

In other polling news:

Voters expect Obama will win the presidential debates by a margin of 54% to 28%.

Obama's numbers among Latinos have hit an all-time high; a Latino Decisions tracking poll has him up 73% to 21%, the Hill reports.

Romney's "47%" comment has hurt him badly, a Pew poll finds: 67% of voters are aware of the gaffe, and 55% of those people reacted negatively, compared to only 23% who approved of the comments.

It should be 80% of women who favor Obama. Perhaps most women have no idea how women used to be property. It used to be a crime to; 1. Get an abortion. 2. Use contraception. 3. Attempt to vote in elections.
